Maybe one of the greatest things about the free market is that nearly everything can be assigned a monetary value, and so everything can be perfectly ranked. Take sports teams, sure there are standings you can follow throughout the course of a season, but you haven’t really judged the value of a team until Forbes determines the fair market price.
Stacked up against all other professional sports teams in the world, the Baltimore Ravens are the 18th most valuable at $1.09 billion according to the Forbes ranking. The best part is we beat out the Indianapolis Colts — they’re valued at a paltry $1.06 billion.
And now I know how much to ask for in my kickstarter to fund that performance art piece I’ve been planning — the one where I become the owner of the Baltimore Ravens.
